Publication Open Access Direct analysis of aluminum alloys by CSigma laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(Elsevier, 2018) Aragón Garbizu, Carlos; Aguilera Andoaga, José Antonio; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; CienciasWe report the application of CSigma laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (Cσ-LIBS) to quantitative analysis of aluminum alloys without sample preparation. Cσ-LIBS simplifies strongly the conventional calibration procedure of LIBS, replacing it with a characterization stage performed from the spectrum of a single standard sample. The aim of this work has been to provide a complete evaluation of the use of Cσ-LIBS for direct analysis by obtaining its figures of merit, including precision and limits of detection. Ten elements (Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg, Cr, Ni, Zn, Ti and Ca) are determined in a set of six certified samples with a wide range of concentrations, from percent down to μg/g levels. The average precision is 8.0% for concentrations higher than 0.1 wt% and 13% for concentrations between 0.1 wt% and 0.01 wt%. The limits of detection are in the range 1.4–9.7 μg/g.Publication Open Access Experimental Stark widths and shifts of MnII spectral lines(Oxford University Press, 2019) Manrique Rosel, Javier; Aragón Garbizu, Carlos; Aguilera Andoaga, José Antonio; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; CienciasStark widths and shifts of MnII lines with wavelengths in the range 2300-3500 Å have been measured by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. The use of fused glass samples with varying Mn concentrations has allowed minimization of the error due to self-absorption in the Stark width measurements, which has made it possible to include resonance lines in the study. The laser-induced plasmas are characterized along their temporal evolution, showing electron densities in the range (0.60-6.75)×1017 cm-3 and temperatures in the range 11 000-13 900 K. The results are compared with experimental and theoretical values available in the literature.Publication Open Access Experimental stark widths and shifts of V II spectral lines(Oxford University Press, 2020) Manrique Rosel, Javier; Díaz Pace, D. M.; Aragón Garbizu, Carlos; Aguilera Andoaga, José Antonio; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; CienciasWe have measured the Stark widths and shifts of V II spectral lines in the wavelength range 2000-4200 Å belonging to 75 multiplets. The spectra are emitted by laser-induced plasmas generated from fused glass discs prepared by borate fusion. The electron density and temperature are in the ranges (0.72-6.5) × 1017 cm-3 and (11 000-14 900) K, respectively. To avoid self-absorption, we have used seven samples with vanadium concentrations selected by the CSigma graph methodology. This has allowed to include strong and weak lines in the study, including resonance and forbidden lines. The experimental widths and shifts are compared with theoretical values available in the literature.
